How delivery works in Johnstone

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Johnstone is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PA5 are priced to the exact address.

Getting the right MOT Type 1

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

Your questions answered

Can you tip it loose?

For larger quantities we can price a loose tipped load if the lorry can reach and there is space to tip.

Does Type 1 drain?

Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Johnstone?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Johnstone?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
